If you feel surrounded by threes and strange creatures that means you are already looking at my illustration web site, after six months of slow and meticulous work. Naomi and I started working on it in October last year on our spare time during the evenings and weekends. That’s probably the main reason why it took so long. The other is that when I decided to have my own web site I wanted it to be very special.

The truth is that Naomi and I have been designing and developing web sites together for the last 5 years including more than 50 projects, created and maintained, two big music web sites (Intuitive Music and The Marquee Club), and three personal blogs (today only remaining Naomi’s Atypical Shoes). I needed to have a web site of my own for my illustration and art work and I never had the ideas clear enough and the time to do it, but now it’s done.

This web web site originally started in November 2007 as a mere blog. Because I knew building my site would take a few months, I decided to start a simple blog because I just had the urge to write. For the temporary version, I used a template that I originally designed a couple of years back for a blog in Spanish called Generación Chiripitiflautica where I used to talk about childhood memories. The content of this old blog is now being translated to English and integrated here under the category of Memories. You can read more about it in this post.

So, for the last few months, I’ve been showing the development of the final design that you can see today in order to demonstrate my creative process. I will still be posting more about it in the forthcoming weeks, and I will also be updating the portfolio and blog regularly.

I wanted to add that it was my intention from the very first day to do this web site the most personal I could. The whole design and illustration is full of important and influential things in my life and work. Nothing here is circumstantial. The main illustration in the top header, for instance, it’s full of references to my own life and persona. This web site makes me feel like home. I’m wearing my heart and that’s all I ever wanted to do. I hope I can reach other hearts, make good friends and know all the beautiful and creative people floating around this world like me.
